{cvs,svn,vcs}.wgdd.de

I've left my server provider and shut down the above services and only keep a small amount of services running. The domains {cvs,svn,vcs}.wgdd.de were used to provide (a) a subversion (SVN) server (via HTTPS and dav_svn) for some public and private work and (b) a CVS web-client to some old project works in CVS.

Among the latter was e.g. old code to generate manual pages for the proprietary fglrx graphics driver, stuff that laid there untouched for many years. So I guess, it was about time to finally remove it :)

The subversion web-client gave public access to some packaging work I do for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, e.g. for the cvsweb, gtypist packages and some non-official packaging work. For the official packages I plan to move the files into the collab-maint web space and adjust the packages control files accordingly. Everything else will be hosted non-publicly in the future. I still intend to move stuff, that turns out to be useful for more people, to public places like github and Co. Update 17.11.2014: cvsweb, gurlchecker and gtypist have been moved to collab-maint.

debian.wgdd.de

I used this site to describe my usage of Debian GNU/Linux on the hardware I own ... laptop, servers etc. I wrote a few HOWTOs and provided a link collection with useful links. You can still find all of this using the archive.org service. I also had a repository up and working, especially to provide bluefish packages for users of Debian stable and Ubuntu. Half a year ago I dropped the Ubuntu build environments and packages and moved the Debian stable backports to official places. This effectively emptied the repository and left only the wgdd-archive-keyring package in place. So, there is no real need for a public repository anymore and the linklist probably got outdated too. All in all, I decided to stop this service (maybe I'll forward the site to here later :)).

If you see an error regarding the debian.wgdd.de URL running apt-get or aptitude, then there is a reference to this site in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, which can be safely removed. Further you should get rid of the wgdd-archive-keyring package:

apt-get autoremove --purge wgdd-archive-keyring

... or the repository key:

apt-key del E394D996

What else

In case you need any content from the mentioned services, just let me know.

Hints

Some links use the apturl syntax apt://. AFAIK Debian has removed support for this, whereas Ubuntu still has. I consider these links useful in the case, you want to install the packages based on what you read in an article. So I'll leave them even if Debian currently doesn't support them directly.
